@LollaThinks@rickygervais@wossy The era of sex, drugs, rock and roll, did anything look out of place?
Lad culture, the tv shows, the music and the lads mags weren’t frowned upon, it was a different time that looks out of place now.
@MartinSLewis Those products weren’t available when folk just used to call it winter, a time not so long ago when central heating was rare and they scraped ice off the inside of windows.
Did the population moan and demand financial help? No, they just cracked on.
@Toothache01@AliJamaine56 Cycling the roads for forty years and I would’ve held back, allowed the bus to pull in and then pass the bus… a common sense approach that doesn’t put anyone in danger.
@ChrisGPackham The problem-
The majority just can’t afford heat pumps, solar, battery banks and EVs, meanwhile the affluent can afford those luxuries but most chose not to take that route.
The working masses are taking the hit for something they just can’t afford during a cost of living crisis.
@CarolineLucas A common sense approach. Most people can’t afford an EV, millions of people aren’t in a position to charge an EV, deprecation of the vehicle is immense, mechanical issues are ridiculously expensive, the charging infrastructure is hit and miss and expensive.
We’d all love one, but
@MarkTodd_pol Compare that to the growth of other nations.
The cost of living has also gone up by 35% in the U.K. , but then again it’s gone up by 33.5% in Germany.
Brexit was a bad idea, but the exit was run my numpties, we’ve had the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and now the war in Iran.
